SENATOR CELEBRATES

BIRTHDAY

Last Minute Telegrams From Over Nation Inspire the G. 0. P. Leader TT FI.OTD MAC GRIFF rSTAFF CORRESPONDENT MARION. (J.. Nov. 1. N SERVICE Election day found Senator Warren G. Harding confidant of victory. This confidence wss partially inspired from last minute telegrams from various parts of the country to the republican presidential candidate assuring him that the republican strength was unwsverin? and would be more than sufficient for his election. He was assured that Indiana. Illinois, New Jersey and New York would go republican. Weather conditions were not Rood in. the Ohio Valley, but the senator expressed his confidence that th" rural vote considered largely republican, especially In Ohio, would go to the polls, since so many of the farmers have automobiles. It was raining at Marion early today. Senator Harding bad completely relaxed, and while a bit tired from weeks of campaigning, expressed Himself as surprised that he had come through in such good shape physically. Today was the senators fifty-fifth birthday and he will know by tonight whether the nation wi'l mae him a birthday present of highest office and endorse the policies he has precclied liunns the past fourteen Trecs. The senator arose leisurly, had breakfast and then with Mrs. Harding, went to their precinct about 3 a. m. nj voted. The voting booth was in a garage and newspaper men and photoir:pbers formed a gallery. Weather permitting, Senator Harding phii-nod to motor this morning to the .Scioto Golf Club, Columbus, for a same with Judge Henderson, of that cay. All Marion was in readiness for "a Lot lime in the oid town tonight" .if hop.-? f,f winning with the prcsidnital candidate are fuelled. Senator Hardmc will receive returns at his home with a few friends, including Harry t'augherty. political counsellor for Winy years. Already hundreds of job-seekng Ietlers have reached Harding headquarters, especially from men who wish to he postmasters. They have not waked up to the fact that ail postmasters are no longer appointive, but come under civil service. Th senator also has received a lctter from a stranger who modestly offers his services as secretary of state, although he confesses he is entirely inexperiened in foreign affairs. All this is amusing to the republican candidate, -who naturally can give none of this correspondence any attention vntil his election has become a fact.

Shortly after the poll of voters rere fn hand opened, dozens at nearly every poll to cam their vote. t one down town polling place t enty-eight men' mid women formed a line waiting their i turn in the raw cold morning:. From the length of time the voters' were spending in the curtains of the voting machines, it is quite evident J that many of them are voting straight ! tckets and it is certain that there will not be as many split tickets as some of the "dopesters" predicted. All parties wound up their campaigns last night. Besides a democratic meeting-, the Farmer-Labor ticket advocates paraded the business district and then held a mass meeting at the East Side Park. On account of the cold weather the crowd was a slim one. Little enthusiasm was displayed and it was apparent that candidates of the party expect to do more than throw a scare t into the ranks of the democrats and republicans. At the republican headquarters at the Harrison Club in Gary this morning every one was happy and gave assurance of an overwhelming republican victory 1n Lake county. "We are going to put over the entire ticket." said County Chairman John Killigrew. "It will be a victory that will go down "nto history as one of the biggest landslides the country has ever seen. Republican betters flocked the south .side district last night, in an effort to get bets, but fund only a few takers. These bets were all on stale and county majorities. Democrat and Farmer-Labor ticket boosters had their rolls tucked safely away in the hip pocketrWhiting Men Are Badly Hurt Indiana Harbor Sedan Runs Into Them as They are Driving Small Truck f SPECIAL TO THE TIMES1 WHITING.

Mr. Buczkowski and his son, the latter being at the wheel. were thrown out and the truck was about demolished. The former is badly injured about the hands and arms and both limbs, and it is thought that one limb and one arm are broken, but it Is as yet impossible to tell.

He was however stopped at the Marks subdivision and brought back, when his name and license number were secured.
